The long delayed multi-starrer FASHION has been involved in several controversies from the day it was launched. Today we have confirmation on breaking news that Monisha Rai-Malhotra may have walked out of this film after completing 90% of the shooting!
When asked for comment, Monisha stated "My family and fans know that I thoroughly enjoyed doing FASHION and was anxiously looking forward to its release. However, I don't really know if I am even part of the film anymore. Several people in Trollywood are out to ruin my career and reputation. I have heard from reliable sources that Deepika is claiming to have been the original choice for my role in Fashion and this is simply not the truth. Now I hear that she's trying to get me fired from FASHION and I can only hope that my producers will remain loyal to me."
However, a spokesperson for Beauty Price Productions maintained that "Whether it is Monisha or any other actor, in order to continue being a part of our films, all actor must remain committed to the original terms of the offer. When we first offered FASHION to Monisha, we very clear that Janet's character would be required to wear a 2 piece bikini showcasing our sponsor, Le Perla®. After 90% of our film was complete, Monisha flat out refused to wear a 2 piece bikini and informed us that this would not be acceptable to her in-laws. With respect to her personal life, we have asked that she make a quick decision. If she wants to remain in FASHION, she will need to fulfill her original contract agreement and if she chooses not to do it for personal reasons, we have asked that she notify us by noon on Saturday. As the banner that launched her career, we continue to believe in Monisha's talent and are anxious for her to complete our film. We have not and will not fire her based on gossips. It is entirely her decision, as long as it is made in a timely manner with respect to our release date."
No matter who you choose to believe, it seems unlikely that Monisha will remain in Fashion considering tomorrow's deadline by the production house. We will continue to keep you updated on this story.

MONISHA RAI-MALHOTRA BREAKS HER SILENCE!
Love, marriage, death and divorce. Trollywood actress Monisha Rai-Malhotra has seen it all and lived it all. But through it all, she has had an incredibly successful career. Her debut film RACE became a smash hit with the masses and she received critical acclaim in a role where she was pitted against two of Trollywood's most seasoned actresses. She even recently got the opportunity to walk the ramp for a well known designer in New York City. On popular demand, we present the very beautiful and successful star Monisha Rai Malhotra!
T-Fare: First, congratulations on the super success of RACE and the recent successful fashion show you were a part of. Are you surprised by the tremendous appreciation you received for your first film?
MONISHA: Frankly, I am not surprised at all. If you go back and read my previous interview with you guys, I had even predicted that this would happen! Like I had told you, I chose to make my debut in a big multi-starrer where I would be the underdog. When you work with big actresses, there is bound to be healthy competition. After so many movies together like Devdas, KANK, LCMD, GMM and Silsila, the audience was tired of seeing Malini and Natasha all the time. They needed a change and I knew that I could be the fresh new face they were craving. So, I worked very hard on my body and the rest is history! Before RACE released, you guys had hyped up Malini’s new look and her rivalry with Natasha. You gave so much coverage to them and just a 3 question interview for me! You even asked me why I accepted RACE as my debut since I’d have nothing to do in the film with 2 big actresses. But I think even you’d agree that today when people look back at the success of RACE, my name stands out of the crowd. In fact it is the exposure from RACE that landed me my first big assignment as ramp model during New York Fashion Week in September this year. Yet, I don’t hold any grudges against T-Fare. As I had told you, the audience decides my fate and not the press. Today if you guys are coming to interview me, I know that it’s because my audience has demanded it and not because your producer is my family!
T-Fare: You claim to be a determined and strong young woman but isn’t it true that your marriage is falling apart? There are rumors that you and your husband don’t even live together and you’re going through a bitter divorce?
MONISHA: I am absolutely a strong, successful and determined young woman. Every relationship goes through its own trials and tribulations. Is there any marriage that does not have it’s share of troubles? Absolutely not, and mine is no exception. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to comment on details of our divorce at this time as this is a complicated legal matter.
T-Fare: We understand that you may not be able to discuss the legal aspect of your alleged divorce. However, could you take us back to a year ago when you first married Saagar and became part of the Malhotra family?
MONISHA: When you are married at the age of 19, you always think you're prepared for everything, and you think you have the knowledge of what's coming ahead. But although I was somewhat frightened at the prospect of marriage at the time, I felt I had the support of my husband-to-be. I think like any marriage, especially when you come from a family of strong marriages, you'd want to try even harder to make it work. You don't want to fall back into a pattern that you've seen happen in other marriages. So, I desperately wanted it to work, I desperately loved my husband and I wanted to share everything together, and I thought that we were a very good team.
T-Fare: How aware were you of the significance of what had happened to you when you married into the Malhotra family? After all, marrying Saagar would make you the new queen of the first family of Trollywood and center of all the gossips.
MONISHA: I was never overwhelmed, and am not overwhelmed by the responsibilities that this role creates. It was a challenge, it is a challenge. As for becoming like a queen, it was never on my mind when I married my husband. I married him because I loved him and that’s all that mattered. The most overwhelming aspect was the media attention, because my husband and I, we are very private people. We were told when we got engaged that the media would go crazy over it; and so when we got married we tried to keep it a family affair but they somehow got hold of our intimate wedding pictures. After the marriage we thought it would get better but it didn't; and then it started to focus very much on me. I seemed to be on the front of gossip tabloids every single day, which is an isolating experience. I was portrayed to be a career driven ambitious and evil woman which I am not at all. Without knowing the facts, the media blamed me for everything that happened to our marriage. This is simply not the truth!
T-Fare: Did your in-laws give any thought to the role that you might have as the new Malhotra bahu?
MONISHA: No one sat me down with a piece of paper and said: `This is what is expected of you.' But there again, I'm lucky enough in the fact that I have found my role, and I'm very conscious of it, and I love being in a big joint family. In spite of what you might have heard, I am very emotional person and have always placed my relationships ahead of career and money.
T-Fare: What effect did the paparazzi have on your marriage?
MONISHA: It made it very difficult, because basically we were a married couple being chased around and spied and had to be cautious of everything we did or wore because it could end up on the front cover of the gossip site. It was exhausting to say the least.
T-Fare: According to recent articles published on the gossip site, you and your husband had very different outlooks, very different interests. Would you agree with that?
MONISHA: No. I think we had a great deal of common interest - we both liked people, both liked our life in San Francisco, both loved children, volunteered in the cancer field and of course Trollywood. And I was willing to be the wife he wanted me to be. But I was portrayed in the media at that time, if I remember rightly, as someone who was stupid, greedy or manipulative – only because of my age.
T-Fare: Around early July this year, shortly after the passing of your brother in-law, a gossip site reported that your husband had renewed his relationship with his ex lover. Were you aware of that?
MONISHA: I didn't need a gossip site to to tell me the status of my relationship. A woman’s instinct is a very good one so yes I was aware of it, but I wasn't in a position to do anything about it.
T-Fare: What effect did that have on you?
MONISHA: Pretty devastating. A feeling of being no good at anything and of being useless in every direction of your life. It was already difficult, but it became increasingly difficult. It took me months to realize that there were three of us in our relationship and that it was just not going to work out this way. But like I said, I wasn’t in a position to do anything about it. I’m not the one who brought the third person into our marriage. So I waited for him to make a decision.
T-Fare: By September of this year, he made a decision and you agreed to live separately. What were your feelings at the time?
MONISHA: Deep, deep, profound sadness. Because we had struggled to keep it going, but obviously we'd both run out of steam. My beloved brother in-law Rajiv was a big believer in our marriage and completely against the other woman. He fought hard to make sure that she would not come anywhere close to our family. So, as long as he was alive, our marriage was well. But the day I found out about his passing, I knew that my husband's fondness for the other woman would make trouble for our marriage again. As expected, less than a month later, my husband asked for the separation and I supported it. What other choice do I have?
T-Fare: Once the separation happened, what happened?
Monisha: People's agendas changed overnight. I was now separated wife of Saagar Malhotra and I was the victim. This hadn't happened before. And for a change, they started attacking the other woman and stopped attacking me!
T-Fare: Do you hold any grudges?
MONISHA: Absolutely not. I know everyone in the Malhotra family dislikes her and many people have written to me expressing disgust at what she’s done. But I am telling you what I told them – I hold no grudges. A marriage is supposed to be between two people and it’s solely these two people who are required to be committed and be faithful to each other. She was not, is not and will never be responsible for my marriage so why should I hold a grudge against her? No doubt I would personally never go after a married man because I do think it’s unethical and not cool. However, I don’t hold her responsible for the failure of my marriage. If it was not her, it could have been anyone else. Plenty of women are willing to steal other people's husbands - not just her. If anyone, I am disappointed in the trust I had placed in my husband. I feel let down by him and no one else. Again, I have absolutely nothing against the other woman and wish her well.
T-Fare: I know you cannot discuss the divorce but can you give us some idea of what the future holds for you?
MONISHA: To my fans and well wishers out there, I want to tell you – don’t worry about me! Like I said before, I am a strong woman and will be just fine. And to anyone out there who tries to come between me and my husband I say to you - be prepared for the fight of your life! I am not a quitter and will do everything in my power to save my marriage. People have always drawn comparisons between our family and the Bachchan family. Remember that even the Bachchan family dealt with Rekha for 6 long years of their marriage. But in the end the other woman is always left high and dry with nothing but endless waiting and heart ache. I am sure anyone who chooses to come between us will meet the same fate.
T-Fare: Finally, on a lighter note, tell us about your expectations for Fashion?
MONISHA: I am working with the biggest director in the business and am so pleased with the way my role shaped up in Fashion. I am really looking forward to the release as I am hopeful that it’s going to be my second blockbuster in a row. I am sure both Malini and Natasha have worked harder this time so the competition is a bit scary. But things are so different for me today compared to RACE. I now have my own loyal fan following and my audience knows what to expect from me. I am confident that my hard work will pay off and my fans and critics alike will reward me for my efforts. Most importantly, I am hoping that the exposure from FASHION will bring me a few modeling offers. There is a real demand for attractive transexual women in the fashion world and I hope to be the first to crossover into the modeling world and open up doors for other young trans gender women in this field. Finally, I'd like to thank my well wishers for their unconditional love and for standing with me during the most difficult time of my entire life.

Trans Beauties from Nepal
Vancouver, Canada on Thursday, November 5, 2009
By Research Reporter: Natasha Rai / T-Fare Online
Correspondence: gayfareonline@gmail.com Subject: NATASHA
Nepalese Trans beauties AKA Metis have come a long way from struggling on the streets of Kathmandu to sashaying on the international beauty pageant ramps.
Reigning Miss Gay Nepal Sandhya Lama, who had won Miss Beauty and Brain contest Nepal in 2008 had been shortlisted among 25 qualified contestants out of 89international participants for Miss International queen pageant held in Thailand. She represented Nepal beautifully and told the world about the recent gay rights movement brought in Nepal. She works as HIV/AIDS councellor and she would like to serve the community by seeking to provide medical and old age home to third genders living with AIDS. Here is Sandhya Lama (#15)contesting in swimsuit portion of the pageant.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dIeQc1FoiU&NR=1
Anjali Lama, Akanchya Moktan and Bhumika Shrestha had represented Nepal for the first time in 2007 in this international pageant. Though they were mass favourite for their beauty and talents, they couldn’t win the crown as they lost in swimsuit and evening wear part of the pageant due to lack of breast implants and designer dresses. They lacked the sponsors and needed training for the pageant.
Recently, out of 300 women contestants, the only transgender Malaika Lama won the Lakme’s bridal makeup artistry contest in Nepal winning the first prize of Rs 50,000 cash and a makeup seminar in Lakme Salon, New Delhi. Besides being a freelance makeup artist, Malaika has been a volunteer and AIDs worker for Blue Diamond Society, Nepal and has attended International AIDs seminar in South Africa and Mexico. She has also danced to Nepalese tunes and mesmerized the audience with
her makeup and dance skills. Despite living in the conservative society, she worked hard to meet her dream goal and proved to all that success in life sees no gender.
The lifestyles of Metis from Nepal had been a roller coaster, full of struggles in order to survive and establish themselves. Thanks to Blue Diamond Society of Nepal, many t-girls are now getting opportunities to be themselves and and have respectable jobs, shelter and above all self independence. Many of them had left their home in early age and had to be sex workers and went through abuses before they found their new home in Blue Diamond Society (BDS) of Kathmandu. BDS an HIV/AIDS organization has employed them to work for its various AIDS and health projects. BDS also fought the legal battle for same sex marriage and GLBT rights in Nepal. Trans genders played an important part in this battle winning a place in the constitution.
BDS with world bank fund, organized Miss Gay Nepal pageant and gave them an opportunity to be contestants on a platform of beauty with brains. Now some of them are eyeing world beauty pageants like the ones in Thailand for their global recognition. I am confident that with time and dedication they will achieve their international dreams. Here is a slideshow link of these trans beauties:

Vow magazine Nepal had featured the trans beauties on its cover of May 2009 and had conducted interview of some of them and a report on their lifestyle, upbringing, hardship and success. These trans beauties have gone through a lot of hardship in school, family and society in general but they have stayed positive and worked their way up on the ladder of success and have established themselves in the conservative society of Nepal. Kudos to Vow for featuring them on its prestigious magazine thus offering them the visibility and recognition that they truly deserved.

Good Evening TBC (Trolly Broadcasting Corp) brings you the Fashion File new episode "The Heels".
Women these days do not get flattered by being called pretty or cute. The looks of today has everything to do with being sexy whether its the big hairdo or thick lashes or satin and silk attire. But above all, the heels that brings the sexy back in you and entice desire and lust in your man. The stilettos have been the sex symbol since 50's to lure men whether worn by socialites or sex workers. The sky high heels have reached a new height.
http://www.ellecanada.com/fashion/trends/sky-high-spring-shoes-reach-new-heights/a/27999
Spring/summer 2009 has the heels covered in every footwear, whether daytime casual sandals or evening dress shoes. Brands like Manolo Blahniks and Jimmy Choos have been household names after the television serial Sex and the City. Prada has the mean streak after the movie the Devil Wears Prada. Versace, Michael Kohrs, Gucci, Yves St Laurent etc have been the runway favorites. All the brands and designers are showing the spring/summer trends with high powered heels in all different forms of stacks, wedges, platforms in 4 key looks for spring/summer 09.
Artisan with an ethnic, gladiator looks in cork, wood platforms and in heavy metal studs, and embellishments. Handcrafted artisan detailing like embroidery, native stitching is mixed with a more urban edge of patent, metallic cage in sky high city sandals.
Vivid colors and prints from orange, raspberry, aqua in floral base to match the bright tints of spring garments. Multi colored prints brighten up spring/summer shoes and handbags ranging from sharp stripes to soft floral to diffused prints on silk, satin and patent giving the shoes a much deserved spotlight.
High shine, patent, animal prints and reptile leather give the posh feel to the shoes. The rhinestones and gems add extra opulence to the heels. Dark green, steely blues and bronzes lends the needed glamour and sophistication.
Shoe booties and fringes are some new features that add the volume and exotic feel to your shoes Chunky and new heel shapes like a round barrel heel and some talon like points have been the new features. The bold and beautiful has taken over anything small and delicate whether in shoes, bags or accessories.
Designs inspired by eighties have been a rage in the spring/summer fashion like form-fitting dresses, miniskirts, skinny leather biker pants and shoes have been matched with the eighties looks. The New black is mixed with a touch of grey, striped with whites and the polka dots and geometric patterns that give the refreshing feel of eighties.
The sky heels may look hot and sexy but you really need to be brave to walk on it. There has never been as many heel mishaps in the history of runway as in spring 2009. Watch the Prada's spring collection and the heel malfunction.

Countdown to FASHION
As Fashion is racing towards completion, we wanted to treat our readers with an interview of lead actress and journalist, Natasha Rai. All questions have been asked by readers of our site.
Q. While I respect your right of privacy, there seems to be a lot of different opinions about your personal life. We have seen pictures and articles from the TrollyGossips site stating that you are living in with your boy friend. Yet, some of your close friends insist you are still single and ready to mingle. Can you clear the air once and for all?
Natasha: My roommate is my friend and well wisher. We started in terms of relationship but we soon found out that we are not cut out for that and we decided to remain roomies and friends. He is a medico and has helped me and my family and we appreciate him. As for Trolly Gossips statements and pictures, all I can say is that the site is someone’s job and means of living and I have to respect it.
Q. You have enjoyed long innings in Trollywood and are undoubtedly among the top 3 actresses today. Are you planning to retire after marriage or continue to work in films?
Natasha: Yes, I definitely have enjoyed my time and work in Trollywood so far and I have got the love and support of my loyal fans. I got the opportunity to work with veteran actors and directors and I have made few good friends and sisters here. However, I have come to a point where career is not everything for me and I am longing to start a family. So to answer you, I think I will retire after marriage or do some very meaningful films only once in a while to keep my acting passion alive.
Q. I am a loyal fan but felt a bit disappointed about your role in Race. Frankly, you looked very over weight to play that modern character. I am anxiously awaiting Fashion, where you are playing a supermodel. How are you preparing for this character and will you be able to match up to your size zero contemporaries? Please do not disappoint your fans this time!
Natasha: I agree with you. Even I was disappointed in myself in Race. The stills I had shot for Race promotion somehow was on wrong angle or the dress had a wrong flow. Whatever it is, the result was not right and I took myself to Jenny Craig, and regular workouts to be leaner. I am not aiming to be size zero as I donot find that attractive either but I want to remain within the right body mass index and I am in that frame now. As for Fashion, I do like Meghna’s role very much and just like me she also had to work on her weight to be supermodel. I intend to do justice with her role and looks.
Q. I was wondering if you have knowledge about your R rated pictures all over the internet. Are these authorized by you? Please clarify.
Natasha: Haha... if only all the nude pictures of Desibaba and some junk sites were real, those sites would have been sued and closed a long time ago. From Aishwarya Rai to Deepika Padukone to Natasha Rai, you will find nude pictures morphed and created on sites to satisfy your eyes and if someone is trying to cash in on that, it’s the lowest and dumbest thing they could do.
Q. I loved your work in Devdas and feel that you should work on a sequel with Malini Malhotra. Would you be willing to re-create the magic of Devdas for another Bhansali classic?
Natasha: No matter whatever the personal differences I had with Malini, She is one actress I enjoyed working with as we had great vibe and chemistry on screen. We created our looks and shared makeup tips and dresses for Devdas which audiences really approved. We both acted in several films together and grew up as actresses. I enjoyed working with Bhansali immensely and if he is making another classic and if the role suits me, I definitely will sign it.
Q. What happened to your articles? They are sorely missed. I keep logging to the site to read your articles but don't find them there. Are you writing for another site?
Natasha: I am under an exclusive contract to act for BP Productions and am an exclusive reporter for its Tfare site. There is no question of writing for another site. I have written some articles for Tfare keeping my readers in mind. I got good and bad comments on the articles which I appreciate as long as they do not get too personal. With many reader's requests, I have written spring and summer fashion article “The Heels” which should be available on T-Fare shortly.
Q. On the eve of Rajiv’s farewell, please describe what he meant to you and how you are coping with his sudden passing? Can you tell us about what kind of relationship you shared with him?
Natasha: I still cannot believe Rajiv is no longer with us and I still have not got over this shock of my life. He was my co-star and we worked together in many films like KANK, Laaga Chunari and the classic Silsila. He did his best role in Silsila with his wife Malini where he absolutely looked great and did a fantastic role of a good husband. Though I never got to spend time with Rajiv in person, he means a lot to me as a friend and a family in Trollywood who I cared for but who I would never see again in my life. He has been terribly missed.

BIG SURPRISE - From Rajiv's Funeral
San Francisco, CA on Tuesday, July 7, 2009
By Reporter: Malati Chopra / T-Fare Online

On July 6 Rajiv Malhotra passed away peacefully at a Sacramento hospital at approximately 4:30 AM. Rajiv was spending the weekend with friends in South Lake Tahoe for the holiday weekend. He was on his way back to his brother's home in San Francisco when his car collided with a deer at high speed of approximately 70 miles per hour. Paramedics arrived at the scene approximately 10 minutes after the incident and Rajiv was flown to a nearby hospital. Shortly after his arrival at the hospital, Rajiv went into coma and was put under life support. He is survived by his wife, Malini Malhotra, father Raghuveer Malhotra, mother Sheila Malhotra and brother Saagar Malhotra. The entire family and some of his close friends were with him while he peacefully passed away on Monday morning.
T-Fare fondly remembers it's interview with Rajiv, less than a year ago where he mentioned that he "was lied to, manipulated, misled, scammed and believe it or not even spelled! I used to cry and almost lost my mind when this happened." We can't help but wonder if this had anything to do with his sudden death at such a young age. In any event, we hope that all his family, friends and fans will find comfort in knowing that he was extremely happy in his marriage to Malini. Throughout his interview, he praised his wife's loyalty, character and sincerity. To those who doubted his own character and sincerity he offered this rebuttal "my successful marriage with Malini speaks loud and clear about my good intentions and good character."
Finally, T-Fare founder AL Bhansali made this statement on behalf of T-Fare and hundreds of Rajiv & Malini's fans - "To the Malhotra Family - We are deeply saddened by your loss. We will forever cherish the memories of the times we spent together with Rajiv. We stand with you during this time of grief. To all of Rajiv & Malini's well wishers - We are allowing unmoderated comments so that Rajiv and Malini's well wishers will have the opportunity to express their condolences. We hope you will not disrespect Rajiv's memories by misusing this service. Thank you."

We are continuing coverage of the Malhotra family's tragedy. According to reliable sources, funeral services have been arranged in the East Bay area on Saturday, July 11. Rajiv's relatives are pouring into the SF Bay area from Canada, India, Australia and the United Kingdom to show their support. The funeral will honor the life of Rajiv Malhotra and only close family members are welcome by invitation only. According to our source, very few friends have been invited - especially from the GLBT community.
During the funeral ceremony, Shiela Malhotra, Malini Malhotra and Raghuveer Manhotra will be speaking and a slideshow will be shown to guests with Rajiv's lifetime in pictures. Both Saagar Malhotra and Monisha Malhotra will be in attendance but will not be speaking at the ceremony. Following cremation, ashes will be taken to Canada and dispersed in Horshoe Bay, per Rajiv and Malini's wishes. Rajiv is known to have spent the best part of his life in this area.
On condition of anonymity, a reliable source indicated that "Sheila Malhotra has been the rock of this family. While she is absolutely devastated, she is trying to stay strong and is taking care of her husband and daughter in law. Malini is undoubtedly going through the most painful time of her life. We are scared because she does nothing but cry! Saagar and Monisha are also trying to put their differences aside and remain strong for the sake of Rajiv's wife and parents."
Yet, several questions remained unanswered. Many fans seemed to be disappointed that the Malhotra family has not been approachable for condolence or flowers. Even the private nature of the funeral has been criticized by some friends who wish that they could be involved in the ceremony. Finally, it was not clear weather Rajiv left behind a will and where his parents will be living after their son's funeral. Some relatives believe that they were very close to Malini and will be staying at her Horseshoe Bay penthouse. However, the Malhotra family has not yet made any official announcements.

The mood was emotional, yet cheerful as family and friends bid final farewell today to Rajiv Malhotra. All guests arrived by 10:00 AM and celebrated the brief but meaningful life of Rajiv Malhotra. Malini choked up while describing Rajiv as "a wonderful friend, dutiful son and the most loyal husband that any woman could ask for!" Shiela Malhotra described several incidents from Rajiv's childhood that brought a smile on people's faces. However, it was Rajiv's father Raghuveer Malhotra who stunned many friends by revealing his family's closely guarded secret. After thanking everyone for coming and being a source of support, he introduced his grandson and Rajiv's son - Rahul Malhotra! Born on March 22, 2009 Rahul is the only son of Rajiv & Malini Malhotra; and the only grandson of Raghuvir & Sheila Malhotra.
T-Fare was the first to break the news of Rajiv & Malini's child. However, the Malhotra family had kept the birth of their sole heir a closely guarded secret until now. The child explains everything including the reason why Raghuvir & Sheila Malhotra will be heading back to Malini's home in Vancouver - to care for their grandson! They would never have been able to live apart from the grandchild that Rajiv left behind for them!
While this can never substitute the loss of Rajiv's life, news of his baby boy will surely come as great news and pleasant surprise to hundreds of well wishers of Rajiv & Malini.

BREAKING NEWS: Saagar Malhotra linked to Porn Industry
Las Vegas, NV on Saturday, May 16, 2009

Saagar Malhotra has won the hearts of hundreds of fans with his humble, simple and realistic potrayals in several Trollywood movies. However, now that he is a celebrity, several of his nude pictures have surfaced and are being veiwed by people around the world. T-Fare was sent a tip by an annonomous reader for this story with proof of these pictures.
It is believed that during the early days of his career in Boston, Saagar was having trouble making ends meet. This is when he decided to pose for nude pictures and videos in order to make some quick bucks to pay his bills. He allegedly also made up a fake American name to maintain the pornstar image. Little did he realize that these pictures and videos would come back to haunt him after 3 years!
We contacted Saagar who refused to comment on the matter and warned us not to publish any copyrighted pictures without authorization. We will continue to provide more details and reaction, as they become available.

Continuing our report live from Castro District San Francisco on Tuesday afternoon, some gay men still seem to be in denial of what the local media is calling the "Gay Drifter Murder" case. I spoke to Fredrick Diaz and he mentioned "the prosecutor is a very conservative man from Southern California who is using this case to show gays in the wrong light. I knew Kylie and believe me, she is not a murderer." I also met a Nepalese student Suman (last name withheld at request) who mentioned that "I don't believe that a Nepalese 27 years old is capable of this. He cannot have such a criminal mindset."
The somber mood was also apparent at a popular dance club in Castro where the music was slow and sad songs were dedicated to Cliff Lambert. In talking to a Fijian drag queen named Komal, she felt that "this is immoral what Kaushal had done and reflects badly on people from her country - especially after the Richa deportation and immigration fraud scandal." Another British Indian drag queen who goes by Nasranda implied that "all trannies are getting bad name because of few dirty elements. Its so unfair. We are hard working people who pay taxes and deserve more respect than is given out because of such trashy people."
Malini Malhotra said, "this just brings more disgrace to the community from which Kylie belongs. Already there are so many rumors of scams and ICBC claims from that community but I don't want to comment on this case yet. Let the courts decide." Rehan Khan also said "this is a very sad day for all Nepalese and also the GLBT community." Chameli said "Oh my goodness. Hamara saara izzat isne kharab kar daala. What a shame!"
On a positive note, the entire Nepalese community in Trollywood seems to have united in support of Niroula. Malini's sister in law Monisha Basnet-Malhotra who hails from Nepal said, "how dare anyone raise fingers at my community? We are known for our loyalty and commitment. Kaushal may be framed by others just like I was in the past. We should never judge until all the facts come out in the open." Neeraj Khan also lashed out at any criticism against his community "We are in the USA where everyone is innocent till proven guilty. You should allow Kaushal his day in court and not blindly believe the silly district attorney." Top actress Natasha Rai also seemed to agree with her fellow countrymen and women. She remarked, "we should never give comments or accuse someone we do not know. Its not wise to totally believe in media or a third party till someone is proven guilty. People sometime try to frame you up to hide their own crime. I have been reading news on Koushal myself and I find it very hard to believe. There are too many people involved in this case and Cliff Lambert's body is yet to be found. I am sure FBI and the SF court will bring justice to the real culprit(s) in due time." Filmmaker Ang Lee Bhansali also said "I will comment on this story after someone has been found gulty by a court of law. I have full faith in the San Francisco court system. Until they decide otherwise, Kaushal is innocent to me."

GAY NEPALESE STUDENT CHARGED WITH MURDER
San Francisco, CA on Saturday, March 21, 2009
By Crime Reporter: Malati Chopra / T-Fare Online
Correspondence: gayfareonline@gmail.com Subject: Malati
Born into a lower middle-class family in Nepal, Kaushal Niroula (AKA Kylie Monali) always had big dreams. Many of his class mates teased and bullied him for being effeminate but he never let that bother him. He knew that one day he had to get out of a society where gays were treated like second class citizens. His classmate Nabin (last name withheld) from Xaviers School batch of 1997 in Kathmandu says, "people in our school used to bully him and gave him the name 'Kaulie.' I also remember he was very preppy and flamboyant. He was interested in acting and theater but often got into trouble for making up his own lines while acting on stage!" Another classmate Subodh (last name withheld) from The Kathmandu Academy remembers him as someone who seemed to be “a sharp person and always very confident, even though many kids made fun of him behind his back. He told people in our school stories like he had powerful and rich family in America but no one believed him. No one with such a rich and powerful family background would send their kids to The Kathmandu Academy. The academy is basically an alternative for kids that cannot get into decent colleges” After graduating his O-Levels from Kathmandu, Kaushal applied to schools in the United States and was able to convince the US Embassy that he was a disciplined student who would come back to Nepal after college. His classmates were shocked to hear that Kaushal got a US Visa. Subodh said “most of us thought he was lying until he had left Nepal! We could not believe that someone who failed 10th grade and had such little resources could make it to the US. It must be because of his confidence in talking to the counselor.” Since he was a child, Kaushal always watched American TV channels like MTV, CNN etc. and tried hard to maintain an American accent. It was as if he always knew that he wasn’t meant to live in Nepal. His life was waiting for him in the gay capital of the world – San Francisco, USA!
Niroula arrived as an F1 student at the New College of California in San Francisco in 2002. Unfortunately, bad habits die hard and Niroula started lying and scamming people soon after his arrived. He avoided associating with Nepalese students probably because they would know his background and uncover his lies. He started making a lot of American friends, pretending to be from the “royal family of Nepal with over $3.5 million net worth.” He quickly became very popular and even got the attention of his college president, Martin Hamilton. Several staff members believe that Niroula provided sexual favors to Martin in exchange for good grades and waiving tuition. Some staff also believed that Niroula might have led Hamilton to believe that he would be providing a million dollar donation to the school – money he never had! Soon the college's auditors placed the school on probation and launched an investigation which led Hamilton to resign. Niroula claimed that he never received any favors from Hamilton and said he was "used as a tool" by faculty members “to bring Martin Hamilton down."
Shortly after walking away from this incident, Niroula became more confident and started getting involved in bigger scams. While on a trip to Hawaii he convinced a Japanese woman that he was from the royal family of Nepal and could get her a business visa if she would invest in his real estate business. Under Niroula's direction, the Japanese lady Hisamatsu agreed to open an account at the Bank of Hawaii and wire funds into it. Niroula then created fake checks and stole all her money. Once she found out, he told her he had borrowed the funds to save family members from Maoist kidnappers in Nepal. Hisamatsu filed a lawsuit in federal court in San Francisco claiming that Niroula scammed her out of $508,000 in 2006. She also sued the bank for an additional $2.5 million in general damages. The bank denied responsibility and asked a judge to dismiss the suit. Further hearings are pending.
Armed with over half a million dollars of fraud money, Niroula began to live the high society life he had dreamed of since he was a child. He began dating a cute Latino bad-boy Daniel Garcia who was also suspected of several high profile crimes. They purchased a loft in the Financial District of San Francisco with a big down payment. They were seen at all the hot spots of San Francisco and according to his transsexual friend Amanda, Niroula often “dressed up as his alter ego Kylie Monali while visiting night clubs like Mezzanine and Deco Lounge.” Meanwhile they were suspected of using the remaining money to engage in several other scams including identity theft, grand theft, drugs, real estate, purchasing life insurance for terminally ill patients and stealing jewelry and art works worth over $600,000! Allegedly in an attempt to cover up his crimes, Niroula then seduced a 60 year old influential lawyer – David Replogle.
With over a million dollars cash, a boy friend and a powerful lawyer David by his side, Niroula preceded with his next scam even while FBI was watching every move he made. Niroula apparently seduced a rich 74 year old man Cliff Lambert. With the help of his lawyer boy friend, Niroula was able to secure a power of attorney from Cliff in David’s name. Once David had power of attorney, he started transferring Cliff’s million dollar home and cash into Niroula’s name.
Till date Cliff Lambert is missing. Law enforcement believes that Kaushal Niroula and Daniel Garcia used attorney David Replogle and several other gay friends including an art dealer to cover up the murder of Cliff Lambert for monetary benefits. The gay lovers Kaushal Niroula and Daniel Garcia have both been arrested and put in a maximum security prison and police have “sufficient evidence to charge these men with murder.” District attorney Rod Pacheco said “These con men have skillfully manipulated their way through millions of illegally obtained dollars and have managed to avoid consequences until now. Unfortunately, Cliff Lambert isn't the first victim of their ongoing scams but we plan on making sure he is the last."
Kaushal Niroula has not only brought shame to his family but also the Nepalese and GLBT communities. We hope that this example serves as a wake up call to all scam artists that the jail is your final destination. Let’s also keep Cliff Lambert and his family in our prayers while police are searching for his body in Palm Springs and here in the Bay area.

Born into a lower middle-class family in Nepal, Kaushal Niroula (AKA Kylie Monali) always had big dreams. Many of his class mates teased and bullied him for being effeminate but he never let that bother him. He knew that one day he had to get out of a society where gays were treated like second class citizens. His classmate Nabin (last name withheld) from Xaviers School batch of 1997 in Kathmandu says, "people in our school used to bully him and gave him the name 'Kaulie.' I also remember he was very preppy and flamboyant. He was interested in acting and theater but often got into trouble for making up his own lines while acting on stage!" Another classmate Subodh (last name withheld) from The Kathmandu Academy remembers him as someone who seemed to be “a sharp person and always very confident, even though many kids made fun of him behind his back. He told people in our school stories like he had powerful and rich family in America but no one believed him. No one with such a rich and powerful family background would send their kids to The Kathmandu Academy. The academy is basically an alternative for kids that cannot get into decent colleges” After graduating his O-Levels from Kathmandu, Kaushal applied to schools in the United States and was able to convince the US Embassy that he was a disciplined student who would come back to Nepal after college. His classmates were shocked to hear that Kaushal got a US Visa. Subodh said “most of us thought he was lying until he had left Nepal! We could not believe that someone who failed 10th grade and had such little resources could make it to the US. It must be because of his confidence in talking to the counselor.” Since he was a child, Kaushal always watched American TV channels like MTV, CNN etc. and tried hard to maintain an American accent. It was as if he always knew that he wasn’t meant to live in Nepal. His life was waiting for him in the gay capital of the world – San Francisco, USA!
Niroula arrived as an F1 student at the New College of California in San Francisco in 2002. Unfortunately, bad habits die hard and Niroula started lying and scamming people soon after his arrived. He avoided associating with Nepalese students probably because they would know his background and uncover his lies. He started making a lot of American friends, pretending to be from the “royal family of Nepal with over $3.5 million net worth.” He quickly became very popular and even got the attention of his college president, Martin Hamilton.

The world has been shaken up with the arrest of transsexual mafia mobster Ugo Gabriele who dresses as a woman, wears lipstick and has given the effeminate feels to the macho image of Italian mafia. Police said he was the mafia godfather involved in drug trafficking and prostitution in Naples. Though heavyset and masculine build, his behavior was sissy to be the mafia boss and a shame to the mafia clan.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/4612516/Italian-police-arrest-first-known-transsexual-mafia-mobster.html
Not too long ago a transsexual Andreia Albertine tried to seduce and extort big sum of money from Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo when he found out he was bedding a tranny and not a woman. She tried to blackmail him for 30000 euros not to expose to the media. Ronaldo reported to police. It was big news in sports world and a bad name to trannies.
In the local news, in Vancouver, a group of trans people(Trans Alliance Society) have come together to organize "Happy Tranny Day 2009" on May 3, 2009 at the local Heritage Hall. The group is looking for volunteers, donations and participants to make the event successful. The group is also looking for trans people to be nominated as role models for positive attitude and being courageous, creative and strong person.
The LGTB centre is also organizing a support group for helping the partners of trans people by providing counseling on accepting yourself and your trans partner in private and public.
Finally, do not miss RuPaul's drag Race TV reality show's new episodes. The show has been the hottest and highly viewed. Drag queens and princesses and all the drama make the show a must watch.

Natasha Rai Back @ T-Fare?
Mar 11, 2009. San Antonio, TX
By: Crime Reporter - Malati Chopra
It all started a few weeks ago and there has been tremendous speculation regarding T-Fare's much in-demand reporter Natasha Rai. Many believed that she was fired, laid off or had resigned. I decided to go straight up to Sr. Editor Kanti Raj to get the official scoop. According to Kanti "We had some minor misunderstanding with our talented reporter a few weeks ago. We would never dare to fire someone of her status and calibre. Anyways, lets leave the past and talk about the future. We are absolutely delighted to have our favorite reporter back at T-Fare. We have a long term written contract with her and I can assure all her fans that this time she is here to stay. She will report a minimum of 1 article a month. I urge all her fans to show their support and encourage this gifted journalist to come up with challenging and thought provoking articles."
Looks like the "future" is here and the leading lady of T-Fare is certainly in the center of it all. Welcome back Natasha!!

Looks like the "future" is here and the leading lady of T-Fare is certainly in the center of it all. Welcome back Natasha!!
Friday
Kanti announces 2 Big Films...
Mr. Shah, it is our understanding that you have some major announcements to make today. Before we start asking you questions sent by our readers, we’d like to give you the opportunity to make your announcements.
Thank you. As many of you are aware, our banner is working on 2 productions side by side. The first of these is Fashion directed by Ang Lee Bhansali starring Natasha Rai, Malini Malhotra and introducing Deepika Parajuli & Rehan Khan. The second film “My Name is Khan” was initially announced as my production. The film has undergone many changes which I would not like to discuss at this time. However, My Name is Khan will star Neeraj Khan and Monisha Malhotra with a host of Americans based in New York City. Monisha stole the show and did a fantastic job for me in Race. Signing her on for My Name is Khan was an obvious choice since we needed reliable top actors in order to sell this ambitious venture. She is young, talented and extremely hard working and professional girl who values commitment and always keeps her word. Mark my words, she will emerge to become the top actress in Trollywood soon.
The first question comes from Toronto, Canada. Are you sure that Natasha Rai is still part of Fashion considering she is no longer part of T-Fare family and has been accused of stealing articles?
Natasha has always been part of the T-Fare family. We are all human beings. To err is human and to forgive is divine. So, let’s not get into this controversy of her plagiarizing articles. She is one of the founders of our organization and a lot of our success is based on her hard work and publicity for our site. To answer your question, yes she is very much part of Fashion where she’ll play a parallel role with Malini Malhotra as supermodel Meghna. Priyanka Chopra won all the awards for this role and I am sure Natasha will do full justice as well. My producer tells me that all 3 actresses are gearing up to fit into the skin of their characters. While Malini is undergoing free weights training to build muscle mass and gain weight, Natasha is rigorously doing cardio to loose weight. Even newcomer Deepika is very excited about her dare bare scenes and wants to stand out in front of her senior actresses. Who knows, she might come out as the surprise packet of Fashion and go on to become a top star like Monisha!
Your banner is known to be a ruthless one that reserves best roles for established stars and takes advantage of newcomers. No wonder you threw newcomers Rehan and Malati out of MNIK and replaced them with top actors. This is the second time you have done this to Malati. How can you be so cold and calculative?
My Name is Khan was written with Rehan and Malati in mind. However, after their controversial break-up, Malati refused to work with Rehan so we were left with no option but to replace her. Even Monisha was not an established actress until we cast her in Race so it is wrong to assume that we only work with established actresses. Our banner has given many newcomers a chance. However, once the film releases, it is up to the audience to accept of reject an actor. At the end of the day we are in the movie making business and we cannot sign on people that don’t make sense from a business perspective. We need to sell our films and make a profit to survive! Rehan was replaced because of strong audience demand to see him in this author backed role. In order to be fair to Rehan, we have cast him in Fashion opposite Natasha Rai. If the audience accepts him in this role, I am sure we will give him a more significant role in our next production.
Sasha Basu has lashed out at you in a TrollyGossips interview claiming that you put her on the casting couch and finally threw her out of Dostana. As they say, there is no smoke without fire. Please comment.
Sasha screen tested for Dostana and was rejected by our producer (and not me) because her look didn’t fit into the modern concept of this film. People are bound to be bitter after a rejection and nothing appeals to a starlet more than cheap publicity. She is obviously trying to use my name for publicity. Unfortunately for her, no one is going to believe stories made up by a C-grade actress in a D-grade gossip site. I suggest she spend more time on loosing weight and stop trying to dig dirt.
Your debut directorial venture Race evoked a mixed response when it was released. But the strongest reaction came from Shonali Kapoor who said it was a “cheap copy of the original.” She had also criticized your casting the 3 actresses saying that they “did not suit the parts at all.” According to her, you know very little about direction so you use big stars, controversies and sensationalism to sell your films.
I never take her comments seriously, to be quite honest. And what does a convicted prostitute know about direction or even films for that matter? Race has emerged as the second biggest hit of our banner and I have received compliments even from top critics in Bombay. Shonali is a nice girl but she should really stick to acting – that is if she can even get a break. After the resent arrest she is lucky to be out on bail so hopefully she has learned a lesson and will not make any more negative comments about my films and my actors.
Natasha Rai got the biggest flak for Race. In fact rumor has it that she has sworn never to work with you again after the way you made her look in Race. Why didn’t you ask her to loose more weight before casting her opposite two pencil thin girls like Malini and Monisha?
Natasha is family to me and she could never be upset or refuse to work with me. I cast her as central protagonist in Race and would love to work with her, if a suitable script comes along. You’d be surprised to know that many people have complimented her work in Race. In fact some have called it her career best performance. There are bound to be some people who don't agree. I think it is unfair to compare her with someone like Monisha who is less than half her age. Natasha is extremely talented and our banner will always be associated with her. I might ask her to do a special appearance in MNIK for luck factor and then all these rumors will be put to rest.
When you want to sign an actor, you promise them the moon. But when it comes to delivering, you go back on your word. When your banner signed Kitty Khare, you had promised her a role in your future films. But you ignored her thereafter. No wonder she doesn’t want to work with you again and never even invited you to her wedding.
I never promised anything to anybody, including Kitty Khare. She’s a very talented actress and she knows that I cast according to the script, not because she or any other actor is a good friend. I don’t know what you mean by moon and stuff (laughs) but we are definitely keeping her in mind for a special role in our upcoming film Chenab Gandhi. As far as wedding invitation, this is usually a family affair and I can understand her wanting to make this a private occasion. I would do the same thing.
Chandramukhi, Saakshi and several other top T-girls based in Toronto have lambasted your effort to move Trollywood to Vancouver. One hears that you are moving to Vancouver and will shoot most of your films in the West Coast. Don’t you think Vollywood sounds odd?
This is news to me. Trollywood was and will always be based in Toronto. What could I possibly accomplish out of moving it to Vancouver? Yes it’s true that I am in the process of moving to Vancouver but that’s a personal move. Believe me, I have never suggested that these divas should move to Vancouver. And I agree, Vollywood does sound weird!
Thank you. As many of you are aware, our banner is working on 2 productions side by side. The first of these is Fashion directed by Ang Lee Bhansali starring Natasha Rai, Malini Malhotra and introducing Deepika Parajuli & Rehan Khan.

I don’t know what you mean by moon and stuff (laughs) but we are definitely keeping her in mind for a special role in our upcoming film Chenab Gandhi. As far as wedding invitation, this is usually a family affair and I can understand her wanting to make this a private occasion. I would do the same thing.
Chandramukhi, Saakshi and several other top T-girls based in Toronto have lambasted your effort to move Trollywood to Vancouver. One hears that you are moving to Vancouver and will shoot most of your films in the West Coast. Don’t you think Vollywood sounds odd?
This is news to me. Trollywood was and will always be based in Toronto. What could I possibly accomplish out of moving it to Vancouver? Yes it’s true that I am in the process of moving to Vancouver but that’s a personal move. Believe me, I have never suggested that these divas should move to Vancouver. And I agree, Vollywood does sound weird!

Trollywood Actress/Critic Behind Bars!
Feb 21, 2009. Burbank, CA
By: Crime Reporter - Malati Chopra
Mother and daughter transsexuals who ran the Happy Endings Massage Parlor in Burbank, CA promoted prostitution during massages, according to prosecutors.
Shantanu Kapoor who goes by Shonali Kapoor, 28, and his mother Shreya Kapoor, 46, were each charged in Burbank, CA Superior Court with second-degree promoting prostitution. The two were arrested after a neighboring business reported the center to the police. Investigators found ads on Craigslist from Happy Endings offering "exotic massage performed by Trollywood's top actresses".
After going through the ads, law enforcement conducted a sting operation to catch the notorious mother-daughter team in action. In August and November, both Shonali and Shreya Kapoor offered undercover police detectives a massage for $60 and $30 extra for a handjob. Shonali told a detective she was a budding Trollywood actress who had bagged a big film with Trollywood's top banner.
Shonali was last in the news for bagging Ang Lee Bhansali's Saawariya in the lead role. However, a few months after the announcement, Shonali was removed from the cast and eventually the film was shelved. Mr. Bhansali refused to comment on why Shonali was thrown out but stated that "Saawariya was ultimately shelved because it was not a commercially viable project as no distributer was willing to take on the risk of a new cast. However, I had already signed Shonali in my magnum opus - Chenab Gandhi which will star 2 of Trollywood's biggest hunks. Now it looks like I have to search for a new leading lady within a few days since we are scheduled to begin shooting in Dallas from Feb 26!"
Shonali was also a well renowned critic and had lashed out at several big actresses. Her arrest comes after other similar controversies among Trollywood actresses. We provide further news and opinions from other Trollywood celebrities shortly.

The Essence of Love
By: Former Reporter - Natasha Rai
Love is in the air. With Valentine day around, every lover is preparing to shower their loved ones gifts, dinners or just free cuddles. This is the day every lover waits for eagerly, every single wants to find love and even a stingy man is willing to spend for the sake of love. Love is a strange thing. It can be the most amazing feeling in the world or it can be the most hurtful experience of your life but no matter whatever the consequence, we all want to love and be loved by someone.
There are many types of love like love for friends and family but we are talking here strictly the romantic love, something our heart craves for. Somewhere out there your true love awaits right? surely prince charming is roaming in search of you and if you are patient, he is galloping along any day. But till then, we are taking matters in our hands and try to search love on Internet, bars and all sorts of places. Dating and finding love online has been a fad in this age of Internet. Sure, we all know that no one is perfect but many of us can't help but get perfect love inspiration from movies and TV shows where romances are smooth and blemish free. Men build their steamy fantasies based on the love scenes played by their favorite actors and women believe in the magical power of perfect love even if real life romance doesn't look as glossy as in the movies.
So love seekers, get ready first to find the partner who suits you, someone you feel comfortable and compatible with and not just someone to make love to. Right from our birth signs astrology, love matches traits have been derived. Some signs get along like house on fire and some are mismatched. The compatible love signs are there but even if you are not perfectly matched, you can understand him better if you read his stars and its up to you to work on the compatibility deficiencies. http://ca.lifestyle.yahoo.com/family-relationships/articles/love-marriage/rogers-flare/fun-love_signs/1
Sometimes, lust and infatuation feels like love but then the first two are immature, selfish. If a person says that he loves you but is unwilling to talk, contact or do anything at all, then it is infatuation which happens most of the time in Cyber. Lust is when your "love" goes from one person to another and is short and physical. Lasting relationship is built on love and not on infatuation or lust. Your feelings towards the person doesn't change with his physical appearance. A major life changing decision like marriage, living together should be natural if you love someone and not a result of compromise. Love grows with time and infatuation grows with full bloom and jealousy is a result of lust and not love.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVLQvULyQI8
Attraction sometimes can make enemies of the brain and the heart specially if you are attracted to the bad boys types and worse if he is a player. You may also fall head over heels for someone who doesn't reciprocate your feelings, then you better stop running after him as he just isn't into you. If you really love him, let go of him and wish his happiness elsewhere. Love is sacrifice and not selfish. Love is giving and not demanding. Complexity, drama, tension, more twists and turns, many think is the spice for love but sadly this causes more pain than pleasure. Love is meant to be simple, transparent, trusting and sharing the likes and dislikes of each other. Love is unconditional and without any expectation. If your interest is in how your lover can enhance your experience of life, then it is not unconditional. Accept your partner for who he is and not who you want him to be. Appreciate what you have and and how lucky you are to have someone to love.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36IRy4rmcZw
Everyday brings a new opportunity to love each other and Valentine day is the biggest day to endorse that. Be generous both verbally and physically on showing your love and affection. Little things you do for him like hugging, kissing, saying "I love you" and displaying your genuine affection starts the day.
Play, be silly and laugh that offsets any stress. Wear your best lingerie, cook the best meal and make the day special for him. Don't be demanding and pushy. Be happy with daisies if you don't get roses and do receive all his romantic gestures even if it doesn't match your fantasies. Hear his happiness, sadness, tears or regrets. Respect and trust is the biggest gift we can give him on this day. So let's give love, get love and make love this Valentine's Day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ypM_kjUKiY

T-Fare Reporter NATASHA RAI FIRED?
By Gossip Columnist: Malini N. Malhotra
For the past few days there have been various reports published regarding T-Fare's Sr. Research Reporter, Natasha Rai. While neither T-Fare or Natasha have made any official statements, some reports claim that Natasha has been fired while others state that she was forced to resign amidst controversy of her involvement with convicted felon Richa Koppikar.
The gloves are off for the staff of T-Fare. Creator Dr. Kanti Raj said he felt "deeply betrayed" by Natasha Rai's shocking resignation and her sudden exit from T-Fare. Natasha's exit was rumored for months, intensifying last Tuesday when reports on 'Trolly Gossip' claimed that she was involved in identity theft and various other scams along with her 'secret best friend' Richa Koppikar. Richa is currently serving time in Nepal for her role in various scams.
Last Tuesday, 'Trolly Gossip' published pictures of Natasha and Richa eating, drinking and partying with what appeared to be several other Nepali men based in Vancouver, BC. When asked to explain these reports and proof of her involvement with Richa, Natasha declied to comment.
Either way, the "help wanted" sign is up again at T-Fare, just a few weeks after it was announced that Malati Chopra had been vindicated and was back as Crime Reporter. Still, Kanti Raj said he was taken by complete surprise when Natasha announced her departure last Wednesday. "I love Natasha like my own sister and I was trying to do everything I possibly could - up until this morning when I was betrayed - to protect her from the nasty rumors on Trolly Gossip," Kanti told us. Kanti also said he wasn't aware until he got an emailed resignation from Natasha.
Natasha Rai, one of the original founders when T-Fare started last year, is also facing a whirlwind of accusations from ex-fans on the Trolly Gossip tabloid. Kanti said his fellow T-Fare founder Arun Bhansali and he had deleted all personal attacks against Natasha on T-Fare and decided to publish an article rediculing the 'fake reports on Trolly Gossip.' However, after the betrayal from Natasha on Wednesday, they decided to respect her decision and not get involved. "We tried to talk her out of it," Arun said, "and we tried to give Natasha time to redeem herself from the rediculous gossips in the eyes of the readers, but after literally begging her for weeks, we finally gave up."
Saagar Malhotra's hiring announcement last week had also led to widespread speculation over whether Saagar was hired to replace Natasha since the tabloids speculated that they could not co-exist on T-Fare. However, Arun maintains that "Saagar was invited to join our staff several weeks before Natasha's resignation in order to tap into a market segment. His hiring had nothing to do with the resignation of Natasha." Like Bhansali and Kanti Raj, T-Fare's Crime Reporter Malati Chopra rubbished "baseless rumours that Natasha is involved with Richa," and adds that "we are doing our best to bring her back - you can quote me on that!"
As the newest reporter for T-Fare, I am not sure what the future holds but I'm absolutely sure who holds the future of T-Fare. Kanti, Arun, Malati, Saagar and myself remain loyal to T-Fare and without our majority approval, there may be several ways to get out, but there is definitely no way to come back in!

Trollywood Actress Family Suspected in New Scam
By Crime Reporter: Malati Chopra
This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included below). Please alert this to everyone you know. It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us take those summons for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on their civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of fraud has surfaced.
The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of this information and bingo; your identity was just stolen.
The fraud has been reported so far in 11 states, including Texas, Massachusetts, Washington, Manitoba and California. This (swindle) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving information by pretending they are with the court system. The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud. A veteran Trollywood vamp's family is suspected to be involved in this scam.

PASSION for FASHION
By - Natasha Rai
Holidays always bring about the fashion mood in us. With all the christmas and new year parties, after work cocktails and fancy dinners, we have enough reasons to get pretty and fabulous. Being a south asian abroad, its alwyas a dilemna whether to go with the westernised look or to be in our Indian best. The choice is ours because as far as fashion is concerned, India has never been behind the western world. Our designers, models and fashion shows are on par with the international market.
So, lets first take a round of the Indian fashion world. Fashion Shows like Wills lifestyle and Lakme always give us a look into the indian fashion designers' new collections usually presented by the famous models and bollywood celebrities. Bollywood is all about drama and its love affair with Fashion, the look and what it takes to shine out on red carpet.

http://www.highheelconfidential.com/
Bollywood fashion has been a craze in India and abroad as we tend to follow what our favourite stars wear. Keeping this in mind, actor Suneil Shetty has opened a chain of stores abroad called Crossover Bollywood se where we find all the bollywood embellishments. Utsav Sarees is another site where we can shop for all our Sarees and Lehnga needs including the accessories.
http://www.utsavsarees.com/
Dressing with all the westernised glitz and glamour has its own advantage as you can
choose from a wide range of make up, hairdo and haute couture available out there.
You can choose from a classy look of sixties to modern style of 2000s. All looks are IN from tweeds, florals, animal prints to country and frills and from bob hair to straight cut bangs to wavy curls. Light hues to lush mascara, thick eyebrows and luscious lips are the new additions. Vibrant colors are back in dresses and make up and the dusky belles are hot. You choose a look that suits your lifestyle and your mood of being nice or naughty and wear a strong color to make the statement.
Lets look at the fashion and beauty of 2008, the winter ramp shows of international designers and the fashion house of elle canada. ULTRA Milano brings in the mens' line of fashion.

High fashion footwear like knee high boots, shoe booties and peep toes, straps and heels always bring the sexy in you and complete your looks and the wardrobe. Platforms and wedges are still in styles in different colors, material and heights. They transform the way you appear and how you feel about yourself. A matching purse accentuates the look. A stilletto is the ultimate sexy and glamorous piece of footwear.
